I enjoy producing fashion shows and my desire is to do that here in New Zealand. Whether it is here in Whangarei or Auckland, I am up for the challenge. This page is to familiarize you with my work as a model and special events coordinator. I can offer fashion show production assistance, and private model training. Due to the personalized services we offer, we limit the clients we accept.
I have worked on various catalogues, posters, calendars and print ads for companies such as Hawaiian Airlines, Sheraton Hotels Hawaii and International, Lowenbrau Beer, Air Pacific and Japan Airlines just to mention a few. Currently I can be found on the Hawaiian Isles Water bottle.
My passion for fashion modeling took me to Paris, New York, San Francisco, and throughout the United States. Some of my long term clients included St. John Knits, Escada, Anne Namba, Chez Kenzie, Mamo Howell, Malahini Sportswear and Tori Richards.
Due to requests from my modeling clients, I eventually started a fashion show production company, The Catwalk Company. I also taught fashion show production classes at Honolulu Community College (a division of the University of Hawai'i).
I spent over twenty years in the trade show industry producing shows like The Great Aloha Run Health and Fitness Expo, Spring New Products Show, Home and Garden Show, The Food and New Products Show and later The Wedding Affair. I worked several years as a Special Events Manager for a Destination Management Company in Hawai'i (DMC).
